What are the Home Office rules for Sponsor Licences?

At Ultimate Visas, we understand that Sponsor Licencing is a critical yet intricate aspect of immigration law. To help you navigate this complexity, here’s an overview of the key rules and requirements set by the Home Office for sponsor licences.

1. Registered Sponsors

To hire migrant workers under the Skilled Worker visa category, employers must first register as an official sponsor with the Home Office. This process involves meeting specific criteria to demonstrate your company’s legitimacy and commitment to adhering to UK immigration laws.

2. Defined Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS)

• Purpose: Defined CoS are used for hiring skilled workers who are outside the UK but wish to work there.
• Application Process: Each defined CoS must be applied for individually, ensuring it aligns with the relevant Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code and salary requirements.
• Validity: Once approved, a defined CoS must be assigned within three months. Failure to do so results in its expiration.

3. Undefined Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS)

• Purpose: Undefined CoS are for individuals already in the UK, such as those switching from a Student visa or other eligible visa types.
• Allocation: Sponsors can request an annual quota of undefined CoS based on their projected needs. If you run out during the year, you can either apply for additional CoS through a priority service or wait up to 18 weeks for processing.
• Expiry: Any unused undefined CoS expire annually.

4. Salary Requirements

Employers must ensure that the salary offered matches the going rate and general threshold of the relevant SOC code for the role. Discrepancies can lead to visa refusals, making it crucial to verify this information before submitting an application.

5. Immigration Skills Charge (ISC)

• Purpose: The ISC is a fee paid by sponsors hiring skilled workers under a Skilled Worker visa.
• Cost Factors: The charge varies based on the company size and the duration of the CoS.
• Exemptions: Certain roles, such as those with specific SOC codes or individuals switching from a Student visa, may be exempt from this charge.

6. Compliance Visits
The Home Office conducts compliance visits to ensure sponsors adhere to immigration laws. These visits can occur at any time and may result in the suspension or revocation of your sponsor licence if non-compliance is found.
